2 men can do a work in x days1 men can do a work in (2 × x) days
y women can do a work in 3 days
1 women can do a work in 3y days
1 man | : | 1 woman | |
Days | 2x | : | 3y |
Efficiency | 3y | : | 2x |
$$\eqalign{ & {\bf{Alternate:}} \cr & {\text{2M}} \times x = y{\text{W}} \times {\text{3}} \cr & \frac{{\text{M}}}{{\text{W}}} = \frac{{3y}}{{2x}} \cr & {\text{M}}:{\text{W}} = 3y:2x \cr} $$
